Hi all. I've just stumbled upon this amazing forum after trying for ages to find one in the UK - unsuccessfully. Anyway, I'm almost a complete beginner. I have most of the equipment I need and know a few of hte basics, but I'm looking forward starting my quilting journey!

Welcome from California.
You came to the right place... we all love to quilt! We do it at different skill levels and various amounts of time per week. I myself am sadly on a break due to poor health, but I still enjoy reading and viewing photos and the camaraderie of all the friendly quilters here.

Welcome Jools you will enjoy this forum. I have found the ladies to be extremely kind and helpful. I too lived in England. I grew up near Chester in Cheshire and have lived over here for 50 years. Still reminisce about the "good old days"

Welcome from Michigan!

What part of the UK are you in? My husband and I were in the Wirral last May -- his dad is from Liverpool originally, and they have family all over Merseyside.

Hello there & welcome from the state of Washington!!
Glad to have you join us!!
:D :D :D

Love Liverpool, they are wonderful people, bit hard to understand though :D
Elle

Elle you know my John was born in LIverpool....did you have trouble understanding him?...I do all the time lol!! :roll: :wink: :D

Hi & Welcome.

Welcome from Ohio.....:-)

Hello from WA :D

Elle, I was born in Wirral. A place named Bromborough.Went to school there also. I also have lots of friends back there although no siblings or parents. Liverpool is a place unto itself. Different accent, if your'e from Liverpool your accent is known all over the world. Lots of special slang, and yes, sometimes hard to understand. The Wirral is opposite to Liverpool across the river Mersey. Oh My!!!Geography lesson in a quilting group.

Nope didn´t have trouble as my late husband was from Liverpool as well.

Hi and welcome! I'm in the UK too, where are you located?

You know, I was SO disappointed when I met FIL for the first time and found out he has almost no accent left! He sounds like he's maybe from Boston ... definitely not English, though.

Sanveann. I addressed my mail to Elle and meant it to be for you. Sorry, just put it down to old age catching up. Where on the Wirral did you stay? We may even have friends in common.

Welcome, Jools. This is a wonderful site with incredible blocks and quilts to gaze at, and so very many nice (and funny) people. Enjoy!

Hi Jools, and Welcome from Michigan!! :D

Btty, we stayed in Hoylake, in a very nice flat right on the beach. It was lovely! My husband's uncle and his family (they have two little ones) are in Heswall, so we went there a lot to visit, as well. The Wirral was just lovely! (We also went to London, which I have to confess I didn't like at all.)

Hello, and welcome from St. Louis, Missouri, right in the middle of the US. I visited Manchester, Chester, the Cottswolds, and some other lovely places when I was in England. I must say, I did have difficulty being on the correct side of the road when I did a little driving! :?
You have found a wonderful resource for quilting and other assorted topics! And we love learning geography even more now becasue it means something! :lol:

OMG it is a small world, my fella Johns best friend from school lives in Lower Heswell, in a thatched roofed house, it is a beautiful spot :D

Oh, how funny!

Welcome! I just joined in, too. "Watched" for awhile and enjoyed. I think you will find it to be very informative and entertaining. Glad to have you.
